Even though it's technically not a game, more of an interactive experience, I really enjoyed it!

I made sautéed meat and pods. Then tried to make something with more ingredients and dropped half of it in the floor/fire. I had some laughs, this is actually quite funny and could serve as the basis for a really cool cooking mini game inside of a survival game or something. Good job guys!

Are you actually siblings? This is very cool! Did you actually record yourselves frying bacon? Very awesome as well!

The Surgeon Simulator of campfire cooking games. I think if you made this a sort of short-order-cook-for-cavemen type game, where neanderthals asked for specific meals with a time limit, and kept the controls pretty much exactly the same, it could be frenetic, frustrating fun.

I like how this is a cooking simulator without retarded physics, it's pretty peaceful and the cooking system is done well. The time it takes to cook different things is pretty neat. I can't find any faults in this game as far as I know but yeah, good job with this game.

Interesting experience! We liked how everything floats in the air when you hold it! Was fun discovering what was possible in this small world. Maybe it would be a good idea to have some kind of goal, rather than this freestyle mode. The physics were well done.

I actually made my own cooking game awhile back and it was quite boring compared to this. How are you doing the interpolation with the food? Are you using physics? Spring? It feels so good and juicy. And the art fits its perfectly. Great job guys!

@olkeencole Yeah I used Unity physics for the collisions and such, but I hate Unity's springs, so I wrote a PD controller for picking up the food.
Whenever I use springs I end up with those Garry's Mod type situations.

Nice work skreeb! You have created a very relaxing environment in which it is quite pleasing to mix ingredients and enjoy a good meal. I really wanted to start moving and explore the surroundings to find more resources! There are a lot of cooking games out there, but I really feel like this one is unique and would have the potential to become a full-fledged cooking series with various environments, contexts, and even characters. I am looking forward to see more of this!

Mini Submission FAQ

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.

CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Many solo participants enter the Jam.

If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.

CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.

CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.

NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
